Description

Guitarist Ross “The Boss” Friedman met Andy Shernoff in 1973 andthey created the band known as The Dictators, who became the first signed Punk Rock band launching the CBGBs scene.

Ronnie James Dio introduced Ross to Joey DeMaio and the two of them agreed on their vision for what a Heavy Metal band should be and together, they co-founded Manowar. They created their own subgenre and dubbed it “True Metal” playing epic songs with viking themes at very loud volumes. His eight years and six albums with this band gained him an unbelievably loyal cult following who widely considers Ross The Boss to be the definitive Manowar guitar player.

Ross constantly writes and records new music and reunites with his old bands and former band members for special shows and projects. His 2005 appearance with Manowar at the Earthshaker Festival was so successful he formed his own "Ross The Boss" band putting him back in front of a Heavy Metal audience and reminding everyone that Ross The Boss is one of the world's most loved Metal guitar players.
